What is Total Tool Management?

ETW, based in Wisconsin, is dedicated to the manufacturing of both standard and custom tooling, employing a wide range of tools within our machining departments. Each tool assembly undergoes careful reproduction in our CAD/CAM software through user-defined templates, ensuring precise part simulations. With the ability for programmers to quickly program parts and select tools from the CAM library with a single click, the need to recreate tools for every use is eliminated, significantly accelerating the workflow. Whenever possible, we favor standard tools since they are often already set up in the machines, which helps reduce setup times. Non-standard tools are reserved for essential scenarios, further aiding in streamlining the setup process. To boost tooling efficiency and effectively track usage, ETW has developed a proprietary software known as Total Tool Management (TTM), which monitors the tools used across all machines and projects. Each assembly and component is meticulously cataloged within a centralized database, allowing for quick searches for any specific component or assembly. This innovative strategy not only enhances our tooling processes but also leads to a notable increase in overall productivity. In addition, the implementation of TTM fosters a culture of continuous improvement and responsiveness to changing project needs.
